Ayase Haruka to star in new movie "Bannou Kanteishi Q - Mona Lisa no Hitomi"

Ayase Haruka will be starring in the movie "Bannou Kanteishi Q - Mona Lisa no Hitomi" which will be shown during summer 2014. The movie is based on a mystery novel series by Matsuoka Keisuke which has sold 3.1 million copies to date and features Ayase as an all-rounder appraiser Rinda Riko who can appraise anything from art works to daily necessities. As the story is set in Japan and France, there are plans for part of the filming to be done in Paris. Filming began in mid October which was after Ayase finished the filming for her Taiga drama "Yae no Sakura". Ayase said that it took a while before she got used to acting in this movie because she was subconsciously saying the Fukushima dialect and had to remember to use French instead.

Co-stars include Matsusaka Tori who plays a magazine reporter in charge of interviewing Riko as well as Hatsune Eriko and Murakami Hiroaki.
